Wladdy is Mediocre At Best.

[JACK D. RIPPER]

Well 60000 people seemed quite happy.. I didn't hear any booing.. did you???

I didnt hear much excitement either.

Roy only won because of luck. Tripling hooks and throwing punches from behind ur back isn't impressive

It was speed and reflexes... we could give Kobe Bryant gloves right now and he would replicate Roy's entire career.

That's all you need... speed and reflexes.

He got knocked out by Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster and wouldve been k.o'd by DaVarryl Williamson had the fight not been stopped. He was dropped 3 times by a complete amateur in Sam Peter.

He's one of the worst in the business. His defense consists of holding excessively.

Anyone could do that. Its easy.

To be fair weren't those before he worked wit Steward? Well the Peter fight I think Steward was in his corner...

[street bully]

Cotto got cut by a giant headbutt. Thats not busted up. Thats getting headbutted.
And Cotto had a real live opponent in the deepest division in boxing. Wlad was fighting some paper champion who hadn't fought in years.

Huge difference. If you hate Cotto just say so. These arguments you make hold no water.

Other than the cut which resulted from Cotto actually slamming into Clottey's head his face in general was swollen and looked bad, His eyes were puffy and his cheek bones could not be seen due to the swelling. His nose was also bleeding profusely, and I saw him spit blood out in between rounds. he got busted up from punches and not simply the accidental bunt.

[JACK D. RIPPER]

Now you are using the he is 0-3 argument.. Pac has 3 losses too.. 2 of them to complete stiffs... Tyson lost to Buster Douglas.. and on and on we go..

He also has 53 wins and 47 KO's

Its not an argument. You said he has great defense and I proved you wrong. He gets hit and k.o'd by pedestrian fighters.

He's got a good record in an era of horrible competition. Its not his fault, but it is what it is.

All around mediocrity.

I could have typed in your reply, before you even typed it.


I'm sure they were.

Again Reed.. you can't argue with results.. fact.. people cheering means they are enjoying themselves.. people booing are NOT!!!

Are you going to say the Germans are Polite people??? LMFAO..if you think they are known for their manners..

They have no trouble booing if they aren't happy

[PoetryInMotion]

You're right... Roy has no clue how to box.

Probably one of the most one dimensional fighters I have ever seen.

He knew how to box, but with his speed and reflexes. He lost those two things and he lost any chance of winning he might of had against a top opponent. Is that not true? Like I said, im not hating on either fighter, I loved watching Roy fight.

Now the butt is Cotto's fault? LOL...Clottey's notorious for using his head.
And of course he got hit, its to be expected against top notch comp like Clottey. That and massive amounts of blood obstructing your vision.

If you could stop trying to compare Roy Jones to Wlad... that would be wonderful.


Roy throws every different type of punch that could possible be thrown... behind the back, bolo, triple left hooks, double right hands, rib breaking body shots, slow motion punches, used his jab in his HW fight...

Wlad has two punches.


This is what we are discussing.

[!! Shawn]

Why slug it out and give your opponent a punchers shot and getting all messed up in the process when you can just dominate him wihtout getting hit then going to party after the fight, instead of the Hospital and make the same money...

lol

Because boxing is an entertainment business.
